I've just finished painting. Unfortunately I didn't take any before pictures. Stupid me. The original paint wasn't in bad shap just ugly and faded. It was a bad pale blue with a huge pink racing strip all down the side of the bike on both sides. It was just terrible. So i sanded the paint and painted right on top of it. Used 3 coats of duplicolor metallic red and 4 coats of duplicolor clear coat. (Found at Autozone) Both acrylic enamels. I used only 2 cans of each paint. Though 3 cans would be better cause I literately ran out of paint on the last spray. I haven't buffed or polished the clear coat yet gonna wait a week to be sure its nice and hard. I should have filled the few dents and nicks on the tank but they are all on the bottom and are not noticeable at all. Let me know what you think?
